Secret of Sakhalin Island (Karafuto)
Prologue
Sakhalin in Russian or Karafuto in Japanese is a very long (c.a. 1000 km) but narrow (200 km in
its largest extent) island located between Japan and Russian
Maritime Territory. It is separated from Asian continent by a
narrow strait of 6 km width and for that reason, first,
Westerners thought it should be a peninsula. With Kuril
Islands, Sakhalin is one of the territories disputed between
Japan and Russia and its belonging has not yet been
definitely settled.
You are visitor number
since the 1st of December 2002.
Time Table of Sakhalin
Island
Sakhalin Island has a very old history. For a long time the
island has been served for a bridge to link Japan and the
continent. During the glacial epoch, Japan Sea was a huge
lake and Japan, directly connected to the continent. Even
after the thaw, the road passing through Sakhalin and
Hokkaido remained easier to use than the passage of Korean strait
because the straits are narrower and shallower. Here is the
time table of Sakhalin Island since 0 A.D. to nowadays. The
most events are unknown in the western literature.
Adventure of Mamiya Rinzo
Mamiya Rinzo is the Japanese explorer who proved first time
Sakhalin should be an island. Actually he went around the island to
make a precise map and then crossed the strait to reach the
Chinese trading post of Deleng at Amur River. Here are an
account of his adventure and pictures of that epoch.
Maps of the region
The frontier between Japan and Russia has changed frequently
during the last 2 centuries and for that reason the
territorial claim of the both sides is not clear. We show
here the modifications of the frontier between 2 countries
since the treaty of Shimoda in 1855. There are also some
historical maps.
Modification of the frontier
 Frontier after Treaty of Shimoda (1855)
 Frontier after Treaty of Saint Petersburg
(1875)
 Frontier after Russo-Japanese War (1905)
Frontier after World War II
(1945)
Historical Maps
 Shoho-okuni-ezu (1644)
The most oldest existing map describing that part of the
world. Big rectangle at center of the map is
Hokkaido while Sakhalin is represented by a small rectangle
on its
north. Heap of tiny islands on east of Hokkaido represents
Kurils up to Kamchatka Peninsula.
The forms are quite different from the reality but the
geographic
localities such as villages, caps and rivers appear in the
correct
order so this map should have been drawn from true
explorations of
the region.
 Mamiya's map (1808)
During his 2 trips to Sakhalin,
Mamiya Rinzo made a precise map by using scientific
instruments. The form of the island appeared for the first
time correctly drawn excepting the north eastern cost where he
has never been. The information inside the island such as
mountains and the form of rivers has been got from the information coming from
aborigines.
 Old Russian map (1854)
This is an old Russian map which was drawn after Mamiya's
trip and
still follows the habit of the western world at that period:
the
geographic names of the area are noted in Japanese, for example
Strait of
Mamiya instead of Strait of Nevelskoi and Karafuto instead
of
Sakhalin.
